It is reported that NaviForm Consulting＆Research, a Canadian ship design and research company, recently released several new technologies for ocean-going and inland-river ships, and improved the capacity and speed of ships through unique shape design. At present, the company has obtained three patents in the United States and the European Union, and another three patents are being applied for.
The company tried two new designs on the new ferry "Esperanza", the most striking of which is the wing-shaped bow structure. Designers believe that the new bow design will not only reduce the resistance of the hull, but also improve the speed, reduce energy consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Compared with the traditional design, the design can effectively reduce 50% of wave sway in the test and actual operation process. In addition, the design can effectively avoid collision and reduce the construction cost while increasing the hull capacity. Another innovative design on Esperanza is the geometric design of the light bulb at the stern, which can make the water flow rotate in the opposite direction after entering the propeller, thus improving the propulsion efficiency.
It is understood that the ship has a total length of 492 feet and a displacement of 10,500 tons. The two decks have a lane line of 1,800 meters and can carry 240 passengers. NaviForm said that due to the new design, the ship only needs 2500 kilowatts of power to keep sailing at 14 knots. Such an efficient design makes the ship’s EEDI not only meet the current standards, but also meet the future goals of the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
Another new design of the company was applied to a large inland container ship operating the Mississippi River. The ship adopts exoskeleton structure to reduce the weight of the hull to the greatest extent and make the draft shallow. This type of ship has a total length of 594 feet, a draft of 8.8 feet, a steel structure of 2,300 tons and a container capacity of 1700TEU, and is powered by LNG. According to the plan, this type of bow ship is expected to start construction in the first quarter of 2021, and the other three sister ships will be built one after another in the next six months.
In addition, the company has also tried Zero Wave Bow in self-propelled ships and barges, which will effectively avoid coastal erosion and ensure the speed at low power.

On October 27th, Jiangnan Shipbuilding successfully delivered a 23000TEU super-large dual-fuel container ship "Dafei Champs Elysé es" built for Dafei Group of France. Developed and designed by 708 Institute of China Shipping Group, the ship has a total length of 400 meters, a width of 61.3 meters, a service speed of 21.6 knots, and a deadweight of nearly 220,000 tons, and is classified into the French Bureau of Classification (BV).
On October 26th, a 114,000-ton Avra tanker built by Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding for Greek shipowner PTM and a 210,000-ton bulk carrier built by ICBC Leasing were docked on the same day. The two ships and a half-ship docked this time are well stocked in sections as a whole, and the engine room sections are supplied in an orderly manner according to the company’s schedule, which lays a foundation for the optimization of engine room integrity.

On October 26th, Mawei Shipbuilding successfully delivered an 11,000-ton chemical ship "Ocean Princess" built for Changsheng Shipping Company. The ship has a total length of 140 meters, a width of 20.2 meters, a depth of 11.2 meters and a speed of 13 knots. It meets the latest convention and environmental protection standards and is classified into China Classification Society (CCS).
On October 26th, Samsung Heavy Industries announced that it had signed a technical agreement with DNV-GL to jointly develop large-capacity floating offshore wind power design. According to the agreement, the two parties will jointly develop the key technologies aimed at the structural design of large offshore wind power floating bodies and the remote maintenance technology of offshore wind power based on Digital Twin.
On October 26th, Huisheng Offshore announced that the 500MW offshore booster station project of Qidong offshore wind power project had been completed and successfully accepted in Nantong base. The project is located in the offshore area of Qidong, Jiangsu Province, and it is planned to install 40 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 800MW. Huisheng Marine Engineering is responsible for the construction of two 250MW booster stations, which will be transported to the sea for installation after completion.
Recently, Mingyang Intelligent signed a memorandum of understanding with Brazilian company Pecém Industrial Complex (CIPP) to jointly develop a pilot project of offshore wind power on the Pecém coast of Brazil. At present, the two sides have carried out a preliminary feasibility study on the power plant. It is reported that Yangming Intelligent signed a memorandum of understanding with the Brazilian Ceara government on the development of offshore wind power integrated facilities in September this year. The plan covers the above pilot projects, and the construction of this first offshore wind power project in Brazil will begin in early 2022.
Recently, three seismic survey companies, PGS, TGS and Western Geco, jointly won a multi-year contract from Petronas Malaysia to acquire and process 105,000 square kilometers of multi-sensor and multi-client 3D data in Sarawak Basin off the coast of Malaysia. The project has surveyed more than 50,000 square kilometers of 3D seismic data and obtained the permission of the oil and gas industry. After the signing of this contract, the project will be divided into several stages to promote the exploration of Sarawak East Natuna Basin.
